The third studio album ends a historic streak — here’s how “ASTROWORLD” reshaped rap during its 7-year chart reign.
Apple Music has officially revealed its most-streamed artists, albums, and songs of 2025 — and this year’s global rankings highlight just how wide-reaching and diverse today’s streaming culture has become. Leading the charge, ROSÉ and Bruno Mars’ infectious hit “APT.” lands at No. 1 as the most-streamed song worldwide. The duet blends Bruno’s signature funk-leaning finesse with ROSÉ’s airy, effortless charm, creating a cross-cultural powerhouse that dominated playlists, charts, and social media throughout the year.
On the artist side, Drake once again reminds everyone why he remains one of the most reliable heavyweights in the streaming world. Despite not dropping a solo album in 2025, he still secured the title of Apple Music’s most-streamed artist of the year. And while he may have walked away from the Kendrick Lamar beef with a bruise or two, the numbers suggest his core fanbase isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.
Meanwhile, Morgan Wallen grabs the top album spot with I’m the Problem, which ends 2025 as the most-streamed album globally. Before Taylor Swift’s The Life of a Showgirl stormed onto the scene and began rewriting records, Wallen’s project held an impressive grip on the charts. Put some respect on his name!
So now that the numbers are out, did Apple Music listeners get it right with these three? Let us know your thoughts!
